Original Article: Increased Stroke Severity and Mortality in Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infection: An Analysis from the N3C Database
Studies from early in the COVID-19 pandemic showed that patients with ischemic stroke and concurrent SARS-CoV-2 infection had increased stroke severity. We aimed to test the hypothesis that this association persisted throughout the first year of the pandemic and that a similar increase in stroke severity was present in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.

Hospital Discharge and Readmissions Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic for California Acute Stroke Inpatients
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, with approximately 795,000 new strokes occurring annually, including acute ischemic stroke (AIS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).1 The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all levels of care for stroke patients, such as delays in initial presentation, reduction in acute therapies, limitations of in-patient resources, delays or lack of initiation of secondary stroke prevention therapy, and limitations in rehabilitation services after hospital discharge.

Clinical Characteristics of Stroke with COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) potentially increases the risk of thromboembolism and stroke. Numerous case reports and retrospective cohort studies have been published with mixed characteristics of COVID-19 patients with stroke regarding age, comorbidities, treatment, and outcome. We aimed to depict the frequency and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients with stroke.

Characteristics of a Diverse Cohort of Stroke Patients with SARS-CoV-2 and Outcome by Sex
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), usually presents as a respiratory illness. Neurological manifestations can be seen in 36.4% of patients.1 Patients with vascular risk factors (VRFs), including history of stroke, tend to have worse prognosis.2 COVID-19 triggers a robust inflammatory response which leads to hypercoagulability and thromboembolism.3 Reports of stroke in patients with COVID-19 are mostly limited to small case series or case reports of ischemic stroke (IS), though intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have also been reported.

Stroke and Thromboprophylaxis in the era of COVID-19
In the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, many patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke may be potentially infected with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS CoV-2) agent. As stroke patients are often unable to give an adequate history of preceding COVID-19 symptoms, all stroke patients in areas with high prevalence of community transmission should be considered potential cases. Observational studies have suggested an increased tendency for thrombotic events in patients infected with SARS CoV-2.

Cerebral Herniation Secondary to Stroke-associated Hemorrhagic Transformation, Fulminant Cerebral Edema in Setting of COVID-19 Associated ARDS and Active Malignancy
We present the case of a very rapid neurologic and radiographic decline of a patient with an acute ischemic stroke who developed rapid fulminant cerebral edema leading to herniation in the setting of hypercarbic respiratory failure attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The impact of Covid-19 lockdown on stroke admissions and treatments in Campania
This study analyses the impact of Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown measures on the incidence of stroke, in Campania, the most densely-populated region in Italy.Methods: we retrospectively analysed data regarding acute stroke patients presenting at 5 Campania stroke hubs, before and after the issue of lockdown in Italy on March 9th, 2020.

Understanding and informing community emergency cardiovascular disease preparedness during the COVID-19 pandemic: Stroke Ready
Acute stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treatments are time sensitive. Early data revealed a decrease in presentation and an increase in pre-hospital delay for acute stroke and AMI during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Thus, we set out to understand community members ’ perception of seeking acute stroke and AMI care during the COVID-19 pandemic to inform strategies to increase cardiovascular disease preparedness during the pandemic.

Patient Characteristics and Outcomes Associated with Decline in Stroke Volumes during the Early COVID-19 Pandemic
Recent studies have documented a decrease in evaluations of stroke patients during the early weeks of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States (US).1 –4 This phenomenon raises concern that delays in emergent treatment and implementation of secondary stroke prevention measures may contribute to the morbidity and mortality of the pandemic. As a second wave of COVID-19 sweeps through the country, there is an urgent need for public health communica tion that targets populations most likely to delay evaluation for stroke-like symptoms.

Comments on Coronavirus Positive Patients Presenting with Stroke-Like Symptoms
We read with interest the short communication entitled “Coronavirus Positive Patients Presenting with Stroke-Like Symptoms”,1 it was a case series on stroke presentation over COVID-19 patients. We are particularly interested on patient 10, the one and only one central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) case secondary to occlusive thrombus in the intern al carotid artery (ICA), who was also highlighted by the authors. CRAO is a blinding ocular emergency, and a harbinger of ischemic cerebrovascular stroke.

COVID-19 and Stroke Recurrence by Subtypes: A Propensity-Score Matched Analyses of Stroke Subtypes in 44,994 Patients
Cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs), including varying strokes, can recur in patients upon coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis, but risk factor stratification based on stroke subtypes and outcomes is not well studied in large studies using propensity-score matching. We identified risk factors and stroke recurrence based on varying subtypes in patients with a prior CVD and COVID-19.
